[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 674881, member: 4152"] I just wanted to say that I'm so sorry. I went to a NAMI mtg. one time and there was a couple in their late 70s there talking about their son in his 40s who was causing them so e major difficulties and it broke my heart. I realized then that I had to detach from our daughter as much as humanly possible. I don't know if it is possible in your case, but we got our daughter on disability. She saw a doctor regularly for years and the doctor was happy to write a letter recommending this. This money is used to put a roof over her head. She has bipolar disorder and even with medications, she has mood swings. Don't know if that is part of your son's situation. I think in the case of our daughter, we've been fortunate that she doesn't do drugs and very rarely will drink. It's been hard to figure out if she could do better with certain things. One gets the impression your son has not made a good effort because his attitude is so poor. Probably best you detach significantly. If there is some hope for a medical state disability and he is willing to cooperate, I would consider if he is civil, helping him get to a doctor and filing out the paperwork to apply. But, truthfully...all of that is sort of a long shot. Again, I'm sorry...sounds like heck. Take extra good care of yourselves and read everything you can get your hands on re detachment, consider attending at least one Family Anonymous mtg. as well. [/QUOTE]
